Well, Fred ended up going to this garage sale on his way to the hardware this morning and what did he find? Only something that I've been on the look out for! You have to be kidding! I have been after a vintage desk or table that I can put my computer on and they had one, the only thing is, it was SOLD! I tell you, if my leg was long enough I would have given myself a kick up the booty!!! Well you know the saying.. you snooze, you lose!
Last week though I did go to a garage sale and found this shelving cabinet..
I think it will look really nice in the laundry or perhaps it could hold some of my sewing bits and bobs... ofcourse like everything else it will get a shabby makeover.. so stay tuned. Ok ladies, hope you have all been well, have a great week end, Maryann ps. Lisa was much better the next morning (nothing worse than when the kids are sick)
Hi Maryann,
ReplyDeleteI hope Lisa is feeling better. Nothing worse than broken sleep too.
I love your new cabinet, it will look fabulous where ever you put it.

Hi Marion love that shelf will look amazing white but I am even thinking a nice shabby green or grey with white snippets coming through.
ReplyDeleteYour right snooze you lose - thats why I am usually at the markets early. Not today however we have had 6 inches of rain overnight and its still pouring. Have a good Sunday Sandy x
Hi Maryann, just popping in to say hi and play catch up with your blog. I look forward to see the makover results for this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by my blog and for your kind words.
Hugs!!

Hi Maryan poor thing hope she didn't have it for too long. What a bummer missing out on the market make sure you are bright and early for the next one. Love your new find looking forward to seeing it's makeover. Take care Carol
ReplyDeleteHello hon, do you know I was here this afternoon reading all of your latest posts. I didn't realise i hadn't left a comment, then you left one on mine and I was so pleased. So came back here and realised I hadn't commented on yours. So funny we found each other the same day. Anyway, love the wooden draw shelf thingy. It will look super sweet painted, in fact I could use a few of those very things in my studio. Good finding cutie. ox talk soon, Ali
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see the result. great find.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I just love your blog its me all over. As i scrolled down i even found i have some of the same things you do. The rose print glasses, I found only 3 at an op shop and just love them to. I will be back to visit again.
ReplyDeleteHi Marion, I do hope Lisa is feeling better now. Sorry to hear you missed out of the desk but I think these things happen for a reason...that was not ment to be your desk and there is another out there (much nicer) with your name on it. You just have to find it :) Love the shelf you found...it will look stunning once you are all done.

p.s. thanks for your input on paint
Yup I agree with Siobhan who is a clever cookie, I'm sure there is a desk waiting out there for you to find it! Besides that wall shelf is fantastic!!
